TWWMABMTBH Chapter 85

Rong Ziyan’s words nearly made the System cry.

But it understood that for Rong Ziyan, no matter how many worries he kept bottled up, how many grievances he hid, standing in front of his deceased parents’ graves, the only thing he could say was, “I’m doing well.”

The System could even imagine the scene of young Rong Ziyan, struggling to survive, wearing his cleanest clothes, hurriedly arriving at his parents’ graves, remaining silent for a long time, not daring to express his longing.

Rong Ziyan was always someone who touched the depths of people’s hearts, causing them pain.

In the end, the System didn’t say anything. And Rong Ziyan remained silent as well, taking sips of the white wine in the bottle. After finishing one bottle, he opened another.

This time, he didn’t drink it himself, but poured it all out in front of the graves.

After respectfully kowtowing three times, Rong Ziyan finally said his second sentence at the graves today.

“Dad, Mom, I think those rotten-to-the-core bastards from the Zhou family wouldn’t apologize to you even if they went to hell. So I’ve decided for myself that I will never forgive the Zhou family.”

“As for my uncles’ families, I can’t forgive them either. It’s not about how much hardship I’ve endured, but that they never treated us as family.”

“I’m leaving now, I’ll come see you again.”

He poured the last drop of wine in front of the graves, then Rong Ziyan, holding two empty wine bottles, headed down the mountain.

The mountain path was bumpy and difficult to walk on in the first place. After drinking the wine, Rong Ziyan was even more unsteady.

The System’s heart was constantly on edge, afraid that Rong Ziyan might slip and fall off the side of the mountain.

But not only did he not fall, he also walked steadily down to the foot of the mountain.

There, a familiar car was parked, and a person was sitting in a wheelchair by the door. It was Ji Shu.

This illness had kept Ji Shu bedridden for the entire trial period of the Zhou family. He didn’t even come on the day of the hearing.

At the time, Rong Ziyan had guessed that Ji Shu’s illness must have been really serious. After all, he had called Ji Shu in between and asked Old Wu several times, and they had all advised him not to visit.

Rong Ziyan had originally thought that it would be a while before he could see Ji Shu again, but he hadn’t expected to meet him here today.

This person had clearly forced himself out of the hospital, and even leaning in the wheelchair couldn’t hide the exhaustion on his face. His pale complexion was like paper, making his beautiful peach blossom eyes look even larger.

“You’ve lost a lot of weight.” Rong Ziyan walked to Ji Shu’s side, bent down to look him over, not asking how he had gotten here.

Rong Ziyan had drunk a whole bottle of white wine, and his breath was filled with the smell of alcohol. The person behind Ji Shu instinctively wanted to stop Rong Ziyan. But Ji Shu himself reached out and hugged Rong Ziyan’s neck.

“Little Doctor Rong, I’m sick, I need a kiss and a hug and a lift up high to get better,” Ji Shu’s voice was low and hoarse, but his tone was extremely spoiled.

Plus, with him being sick, curled up in his oversized coat, he really looked like a young boy who had been wronged.

After all, this person had suffered for his sake. Rong Ziyan was particularly soft-hearted today, and with a real effort, he lifted Ji Shu completely out of the wheelchair.

Ji Shu was startled, but his arms very naturally wrapped around Rong Ziyan’s neck, and his body even automatically adjusted to a comfortable position in Rong Ziyan’s arms.

“Are you feeling better?” Rong Ziyan asked teasingly with a smile.

Ji Shu thought for a moment, then said in a very coquettish voice, “A hug isn’t enough, Little Doctor Rong, you haven’t kissed me yet!”

“Stop acting like a fool!” Rong Ziyan was amused by Ji Shu and shook his head.

Ji Shu sighed regretfully, “What a great opportunity! Then I’ll kiss Little Doctor Rong!”

After saying that, Ji Shu, taking advantage of his geographical advantage, very accurately raised his head and planted a hard kiss on Rong Ziyan’s forehead.

System: Holy crap! Rong! This scheming little gay is finally making a move on you.

Before Rong Ziyan could reply, he realized that Ji Shu in his arms had already closed his eyes, seeming to be about to fall asleep.

Feeling Rong Ziyan’s gaze on him, Ji Shu even said triumphantly, “Sleeping Beauty can only be awakened with a ‘muah’!”

After saying that, he waited expectantly for Rong Ziyan to reciprocate.

But Rong Ziyan stared at the beauty in his arms for a long time, and then said one sentence, “Ji Shu, calm down, you would have starved to death a hundred years ago if you didn’t eat or drink.”

Ji Shu: …

[Depression Value +3000] Where was the said that men in sadness were particularly gentle? His Little Doctor Rong was probably still a straight-as-an-arrow man even after ten thousand years!

On the way back to Beijing, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than when they had come.

Ji Shu lived up to the little demon name that the System had given him, taking advantage of his illness and being utterly shameless.

One minute he would act spoiled, saying his head hurt and only a hug from Rong Ziyan would make him feel better. The next, he would subtly complain that the hospital food was bad and that he had lost weight, hinting that he wanted to eat a loving dinner made by Little Doctor Rong. Then he would complain that the air conditioning in the car was too hot, asking Rong Ziyan to help him unbutton his shirt and even asking Rong Ziyan if his collarbone was good-looking.

Rong Ziyan had drunk wine, so his brain was already half a beat slow, and plus, he remembered that Ji Shu had suffered for his sake. Although he hadn’t had a chance to ask Ji Shu what exactly had happened between them in the past, it didn’t stop Rong Ziyan from indulging Ji Shu and his antics.

In the end, Old Wu, who was sitting in the front, couldn’t take it anymore and turned around to say to Ji Shu, “Boss, why don’t you just calm down for a bit!”

Ji Shu hugged Rong Ziyan’s waist, looking aggrieved, “Little Doctor Rong, he’s bullying me.”

Rong Ziyan hugged him and coaxed him, “Then tonight, let him eat the hospital’s meal.”

Ji Shu’s eyes shifted, and he immediately realized that Rong Ziyan had agreed to cook dinner for him, and immediately went one step further with his request, “The beds in the hospital aren’t comfortable either, I’m all better, I don’t want to go back today.”

This made Rong Ziyan feel a bit conflicted. Ji Shu clearly hadn’t recovered yet, and it was already a struggle for him to be discharged. If he wasn’t sent back, wouldn’t it get even more serious?

This time, it was Old Wu who explained, “Sir, Boss is fine, he just needs to take his medicine and rest as usual.”

“Then let him sleep at my place tonight,” Rong Ziyan easily agreed to Ji Shu’s request.

Old Wu sighed, “Sir, you don’t have to be so accommodating to him.”

Rong Ziyan seemed like he was someone who didn’t have many ulterior motives. But Ji Shu was different, with two faces in front of and behind people, and judging from the expression of the driver in the front, Ji Shu was clearly a two-faced person.

But Rong Ziyan clearly didn’t get Old Wu’s point, and even thought he was being too harsh on Ji Shu.

The child was already so uncomfortable, what was wrong with acting spoiled?

So, Rong Ziyan asked Old Wu directly, “You’ve been busy for so many years and haven’t gone home, hasn’t your wife hit you yet?”

Old Wu: “…”

He had really been blind to remind Rong Ziyan.

For the rest of the trip, while the car was driving smoothly, Rong Ziyan still fell asleep leaning against the seat. At first, Ji Shu was held in his arms, but when Rong Ziyan woke up again, he found that Ji Shu was wearing his coat and looking at some documents. And he himself was lying on Ji Shu’s lap, covered with Ji Shu’s blanket.

Rong Ziyan blinked, wanting to sit up. But Ji Shu pressed his shoulder down.

“Wait a bit, don’t get up so suddenly after just opening your eyes, be careful of getting a headache.” Then Ji Shu asked Old Wu in the front for a bottle of water, made sure it wasn’t cold, and then opened the cap and handed it to Rong Ziyan.

Rong Ziyan took it, took two sips, and then regained consciousness.

“Are you alright?” Rong Ziyan looked at Ji Shu’s face. Although it was still pale, it was much better than it had been in the afternoon at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Shu didn’t speak, but took the water bottle that Rong Ziyan had drunk from and also took a small sip, then shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Rong Ziyan looked at the scenery outside the window, they were almost at the research institute.

Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of the research institute’s dormitory building, and Rong Ziyan helped Ji Shu out of the car.

Ji Shu originally wanted to walk in, but before he could take a step, his knees began to feel weak. Rong Ziyan caught him and picked him up directly.

“Ah! Sir, please be careful, there’s a wheelchair!”

Ji Shu was still a man who was over six feet tall, even if he was thin. It wasn’t a problem for Rong Ziyan to pick him up with a single breath, but it would be difficult to carry him into the dormitory!

But unexpectedly, Rong Ziyan actually walked in easily.

Old Wu: “Sir’s strength is really quite impressive!”

Ji Shu rubbed against Rong Ziyan’s chest proudly.

Rong Ziyan bounced Ji Shu’s weight a little, “You’re not as heavy as a piglet that hasn’t been neutered yet.”

Old Wu: Pfft

Ji Shu: …

Alright, he knew that a straight dog’s mouth wouldn’t say anything nice, tui!

Once inside the dorm, Rong Ziyan first put Ji Shu on the sofa to let him lean against it, then tidied up the pile of Ji Shu’s things that Old Wu had left behind.

Most of them were medicine that Ji Shu had to take, and there was a large pile of them when added together.

Judging by the time, Ji Shu should take his medicine now.

Most of the pills had to be taken before meals. Rong Ziyan sorted them out and handed them to Ji Shu.

Ji Shu, who would usually turn into a charming little demon whenever he was near Rong Ziyan, actually didn’t act spoiled this time, but ate all the medicine very decisively.

Rong Ziyan watched him eat them like candy, sat down beside him and patted his back.

“Tell me if you’re uncomfortable.”

Ji Shu looked up at him and slowly said, “I’m not uncomfortable.”

Rong Ziyan frowned, unable to resist asking him, “Why did you help me so much that you didn’t even want your life?”

Ji Shu blinked, not answering.

Rong Ziyan moved closer to meet his gaze, “Old Wu said that I saved you six years ago?”

Ji Shu remained silent.

Rong Ziyan smiled and teased him, “How did I save you? I couldn’t even get enough to eat myself at that time.”

Ji Shu’s eyes suddenly turned red, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes instantly filled with tears.

“Don’t cry.” Rong Ziyan immediately panicked a little.

But Ji Shu took advantage of Rong Ziyan’s good temper, and the more he was persuaded, the more he couldn’t control his emotions, and the tears flowed down.

If it were anyone else, Rong Ziyan would have been too lazy to pay attention. But it was Ji Shu who was crying.

Although Rong Ziyan was straight, he wasn’t blind, and he could see Ji Shu’s feelings for him. He couldn’t guarantee that he could respond, but on the matter of the Zhou family, he was indeed touched by Ji Shu.

This man in front of him had been willing to risk half his life for him. Just for that alone, Rong Ziyan couldn’t ignore him.

System: Hurry and coax him, oh my god, Rong! You really are!

Ji Shu was crying hard, and the System was giving Rong Ziyan advice with different voices.

Rong Ziyan didn’t have much experience in coaxing people, and in the end, after racking his brains, he came up with a sentence to lighten the mood, “What are you crying for? I only had two school uniform jackets in high school, and you took one of them, which made me have to live with only one school uniform for the next two years, I haven’t even cried yet!”

Now, not to mention the System being dumbfounded, even Ji Shu couldn’t cry anymore, and could only silently rest his head on Rong Ziyan’s shoulder, his ears turning red.

“A real man shouldn’t dig up old grudges.”

Rong Ziyan was not letting it go, “Then you are a real man too, don’t cry.”

Ji Shu suddenly raised his head, glaring at Rong Ziyan and saying righteously, “I’m not a real man, I’m a little gay who likes to act spoiled.”

Rong Ziyan: ???

System: !!!

The author has something to say:

System: What kind of tricks are these modern domineering presidents using?

Ji Shu: [Helpless] [Weak] [Cute] [Needs Little Doctor Rong’s kiss, hug and lift]
